alerts. (Last evening, an individual drove off of Route 495 South and into the median prior to Exit 21. The operator was trapped in the vehicle under the dash and was not breathing when firefighters arrived at the request of the State Police. The man, 32 year-old Shawn D. Anderson of Franklin, was later pronounced dead. Firefighters called for LifeFlight out of Worcester, but it was not available, nor was the medical flight out of Boston.

 CAUTION: Artist at Work
This Saturday, June 8, Hopkinton Sculptor Michael Alfano is holding a reception from 10 to 4, with an artist talk at 11 and 2, at the Westborough Shopping Center, 18 Lyman St. On display will be a life-size full-figure sculpture he is creating for the Miles for Matt Foundation on Long Island.
The talk will include photos of the process of going from a design, to clay, to a finished bronze monument, something people often ask Mr. Alfano about. This is a good chance to see what is involved in creating something like the George V. Brown and other public sculptures people pass by every day but don't realize take years to complete. The event is at a storefront between the Art and Frame Emporium and Staples. Contributed. |

Chicago Sun-Times Dissolves Photography Department iPhone-ography to replace professionals
June 2, 2013 — According to Chicago media critic, Robert Feder, the Chicago Sun-Times, a newspaper with its roots back to 1844, has let all of its photographers go in favor of having reporters take photos with their iPhones, but only after they attend mandatory seminars on how to do just that. My concern with such a faraway place is that the actions of the Sun-Times are indicative of what is happening with the photographic craft in general. From Appleinsider.com: While Apple's latest iPhone 5 takes image capture to new levels with an 8-megapixel CMOS sensor with glass optical elements and a man-made sapphire cover glass, it can't compete with modern digital SLRs, especially when those rigs are in the hands of a seasoned professional. At HopNews.com, ALL of the photographic content is generated in-house, or contributed. Some of this writer's favorites from the last four weeks are in the thumbnails below. Click on each one to enlarge that one. The first shot on the left is from Memorial Day at Evergreen Cemetery. The fact that my camera is manually adjustable, and that I have experience is the reason we see the muzzle-flash in the photo. The next photo of the Selectmen meeting in Holliston shows each and every one of them because I had the right camera equipment and years of experience. The
next photo, by a student who has invested in the right
equipment, pays testament to his passion for photography and his
ability to be a quick study. That photo is not an iPhone photo,
nor is it a fluke. Brent put to use what he has learned and did
so with a real camera. Ditto on the baseball shot. Each of the
other photos has one or more of the aforementioned qualities,
too. Apparently, the Sun-Times believes its readers are satisfied with the kind of content sent in by the readers themselves, as the phone/cameras have become prolific, and the reader often beats the photographer to the scene, because where they are people these days, there are phone/cameras. The street-level view of the firefight with the alleged Marathon bombers, which was barely discernable, was captured from afar with what appeared to be a phone/camera. No one complained. Amateurs sent in their photos and videos of the recent tornadoes to their local television news organizations to share with the world. No one complained. On another note, studio and event (Dance schools, proms) photography have seen a decline in sales and interest as the years have been progressing. Our studio does not see babies anymore, because mom already has a few hundred photos by the time she brings the little one home from the hospital. People bring their phones to dance recitals, and groups of couples get photographed before the dance at their homes. Young people, as well as many adults now, often carry their photos with them on their phones, their life stories scrolling by on a two-inch tall screen. And many news sites with an online presence, present their images not much larger, if at all. Photos are everywhere! And there are no hard feelings at all. We still photograph high school seniors, families and executives through the studio. People continue to enjoy our news and feature photography, because it is a high level for a local news organization, and any news organization for that matter. That clients don't come in with their babies any longer is well understood. I thought of an analogy having to do with that situation on Friday at an event I photographed, as I turned down the exquisite hors d'œuvre, because I had eaten just prior to my arrival there. It doesn't matter if lobster is on the menu if you've just filled up on hamburg. HopNews will continue doing what it has been doing since 2003; providing the best quality professional images, as large as we can, and for as long as we can. We hope people continue to save a little room for the lobster. |

A Six Year-Old's Third Anniversary by Robert Falcione June 1, 2013 — Three years ago today, an alert pediatrician believed three year-old Christian Wheeler's labored gait was more concerning than his mother's belief that it was from a play injury. "It's not a pulled muscle," the doctor said. "We need to do some blood work, some x-rays, and I'll go with you." Following the blood work, Sue Wheeler was told to go to Children's Hospital Emergency Room and have the doctors take a look at him and do some more blood work. She asked why. "His blood work is consistent with a child who has either a tumor or leukemia," the doctor said. "The doctor knew it just by looking at him. He wasn't sick, he didn't have a fever," she said during a brief interview at their Rocky Woods home Saturday afternoon, while friends, neighbors, fellow scouts, family and extended family members took turns at the 100 or so seats under a large canopy on the front lawn, eating fresh fruit and other abundant food. The kids, largely pre-teen, waited and hoped for the slushy machine to make slushies under another tent in the blistering heat, while others did what kids that age do. At the end of the driveway, a half-dozen boys took turns in the moon-bounce (Above, Christian, left, can be seen through the netting.). "That night, the doctor told us he had leukemia, a blood cancer. He was admitted, he had a transfusion immediately, and we spent the next six weeks in-patient at Children's Hospital," she said. Christian's total treatment would continue for another two years and two months. Every fever or other sickness brought them back to Children's more often than their weekly visits to the Jimmy Fund for various forms of chemo-therapy. Mrs. Wheeler credits the friends and neighbors at the party for helping out the family of two adults and two additional children. "They got the other kids off of the bus. They drove kids to practice. They switched kids on sport teams so my kids would be with a buddy whose parents could drive him to games and practice. "During that time, they tried to keep things as reasonable for us as possible. People were amazing. We got meals delivered to us twice a week." People not only supported Christian, but also Ben, who is now eleven years-old, and Nicholas, who is nine, said Mrs. Wheeler as husband Dave attended to the party guests. "Today is a celebration," she said, "for the Wheeler family to say thank you to everybody who helped us through the process, and for all of us to come together and celebrate the fact that he is well, and he is here. "Today is three years from diagnosis. Three years ago today, exactly," she said, looking forward to many other dates to celebrate in the years to come.

Dykema
Supports Bipartisan Legislation
to Move
17-Year-Olds into Juvenile Justice System
“As a
cosponsor of this legislation, I believe that it is crucial for
juveniles that enter the justice system to be given proper guidance,
structure and tools to get back on the path to being productive
members of our community,” said Rep. Dykema. “Brain
development research in recent years has shown that adolescents
between the ages of 11 and 18 are at a critical point in their
growth and development, and this change will ensure that we are
providing a real chance for these youths to be rehabilitated.”
Through
education and substance abuse prevention programs at juvenile
detention centers that are not available in the adult prison system,
the bill creates an important opportunity to stop a cycle of crime.
If the bill passes into law, it will also require that parents of
17-year old offenders be notified by police when their children are
arrested. Under current law, parents are not notified since 17-year
olds are considered adults.
The bill now moves to the Senate for consideration. |

METROWEST YMCA & ST. GOBAIN TEAM UP WITH BIKES
FRAMINGHAM, MA– On May 24th, as part of a team-building
exercise organized by Odyssey Teams, employees from St. Gobain broke
up into teams and built 7 bicycles. The team members had no idea
that the bikes would be donated to children who did not have
bicycles who attended the MetroWest YMCA’s after school program,
School’s Out. In turn, the children from the Y’s after-school
program did not know that they would receive bikes.
The children, ages 6-8, arrived at the Warren Conference Center, had a snack, wrote thank you cards thinking they were for the snacks, and each child was given a number. The children went into a large room where small groups of adults each had a numbered bike resting upside down. The children’s eyes lit up as they realized there were the same number of bikes as there were kids, and that once they were fitted for helmets and the bikes were adjusted for their size, they could actually have the bikes. Team building and teamwork produced surprising results for adults and children alike. |

Banana Flan, Biggers, and Thou
One of the favorites of the group is her flan, a custard-like dessert filled with sweet things. Mrs. Biggers, who has enjoyed cooking since childhood, brought her flan to the world when she entered a Del Monte cooking contest, and as part of the rules, used a Del Monte banana in her recipe. Mrs. Biggers won that part of the contest and will now compete with three other cooks for another recognition. Mrs. Biggers says she is part of a "Helping Hands" ministry at her church, which provides meals for families who cannot cook for themselves because of an event that takes their time such as a birth, sickness, a death, etc. Food is not just food, but the kind of healthy food that marathon runners need to keep in shape. Mrs. Biggers was one of several Hopkinton people who was running the Boston Marathon on April 15, 2013 when the attacks occurred and has sought healing through her church, her faith, and the community at large in publicized prayer services at the Hopkinton Common. But the cooking doesn't stop there. Mrs. Biggers plans to begin a healthy families program to share with the community at large. In the meantime, we'll see how far her flan can go. |

Jeff's
wife, Nancy, passed away two and half years ago after a ten-year
battle with breast cancer. She was diagnosed at the young age of
37, yet faced this horrible disease with inspiring energy and
strength. Through all of this Nancy raised their daughters, who
were just 8 and 6, and touched the lives of everyone around her.
As in inspiration to Jeff, Nancy always used to say, "Your
biology becomes your biography." With this in mind, Jeff strives
daily to provide a better and safer way to live and eat for his
customers. Water Fresh Farm baked goods are made from whole
grain flour that is made from locally grown and milled grain in
Massachusetts, utilizing pure cane sugar, which is healthier for
you. Water Fresh Farm grows pesticide-free fruits and vegetables
year round as well. The goal of Water Fresh Farm is to nourish
with both body and soul, to touch people, and to make a
difference in people's lives however small.
